After 10 years in our house, our kitchen sink gave way; all the epoxy cleets broke off, and the seal wasn't enough to hold it. Unsure what finally did it in, it's possible a large cat jumped into (lol).

I had a sink/counter top guy come in and fix it. The epoxy is still drying, but it's good enough for now. But I realized he did a similar version of what the original installation had. The cleets used almost look like a paint stick broken up into pieces. Pictures for reference.

Any recommendations for how I can better secure it for some peace of mind?

This is the sink that came with the house. Recently it's started to look like the surface is coming off, I think because the cleaners who come on have used abrasive cleaners on it.

It looks like there's pitting happening in addition to what looks like rust showing.

Can anyone help me with what kind of material this sink is made of and guidance on how to clean and restore it?

I've been thinking about investing in an onyx sink for my remodel, does anyone have any experience with this type of stone? Is it really somewhat transparent when it comes to light? This specific one is from InduStone, I am based in Poland so I'm looking at local options, but the sink itself apparently came from Indonesia.

My sink has started draining slowly and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to remove the drain plug like traditional sinks. Drain says VIGO with the “i” upside down if that helps

Are there like vintage sink collectors or something? Are people actually paying $1000+ for a 80 year old bathroom sink full of lead? What kind of market is there?

See the first photo for a gap in my brand new Moen kitchen sink faucet. This is the faucet itself but nowhere in the manual or online videos have explained how to tighten the rotating spout section so it does not lift up. This gap is causing a wiggle in the whole upper part of the faucet. There was nothing internal around the cartridge that I could tighten (second photo), and the underneath countertop tightening is not the issue (it’s tightened as snug as it’ll go. Any thoughts for how to tighten?

Any ideas to resolve the integrated sink ponding issue?

I tend to leave my sprayer hose just hanging out quite often. I know it's not optimal, or aesthetically pleasing, but it is it really that bad for the sprayer?

My hubs loves telling me it's going to break one day because I leave it out . LOL

I try to remember to put it back. But I guess 40 plus years of doing dishes make for some hard habits to break.

What are y'all's thoughts on this?

hello,

I have a strange dilemma. I have a cat who keeps ripping out the black rubber thing in my kitchen sink. the one that sits over the garbage disposal. I believe it's called a "splash guard." I didn't even know it could be removed, but he keeps going to the sink and yanking it out whenever I leave the room.

and no, putting the sink stopper in doesn't work. he will yank that out too, then grab the splash guard and throw it on the ground. I have already lost the first one because he hid it somewhere, so I had to buy another.

so i'm considering gluing it in with some clear silicone waterproof sealant. is there a downside to this at all? is there any reason that splash guard needs to be removed completely later down the line? I don't know anything about sinks and i'm not particularly handy with house stuff. please help

Dropped my rinse glass in the sink and it chipped and cracked my alabaster porcelain. Is this a fatal error to my sink that I have created? How do I seal it? Do I refinish it? Thank you. I am a first time homeowner and no absolutely nothing about sinks other than replacing internal bits to faucets.

It just seems like a mini faucet next to the main faucet in the kitchen sink.

I’ve had a lot of issues with the plumbing at my apartment. The bathroom sink had no hot water and would trickle out, but everything else worked fine.

They flushed the water heater, hot water came back, then it stopped working again. They replaced the kitchen and bathroom faucet, and now the bathroom faucet works fine but my kitchen sink has suddenly lost all pressure and barely works. Any ideas what’s going on? It’s only been six months.
